Europe is full of surprises for families wanting to create ever-lasting memories. Being a mother myself, I find extreme joy in creating family trips to Europe. There are amazing activities for adults and kids alike, as well as endless opportunities to get the family together.

Luxury family-friendly accommodation in Europe

There are many incredible places to stay in Europe. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Paros

Cosme

Set in the charming, whitewashed village of Naouss on the island of Paros, with the clear blue Aegean sea all around, lies the Cosme hotel.

Rome

Villa Spalletti Trivelli

Built the late 19th century, this grandiose villa has stayed with the Trivelli family ever since. Subtle modern touches enhancing the historic charm of the original features.

The Cotswolds

Dormy House

Dotted around the Cotswolds are clusters of honey-coloured cottages and fitting right in to the scenery is Dormy House, near the picture-perfect village of Broadway. The boutique country hotel is perched on the top of Willersey Hill within the 400-acre Farncombe Estate. A 17th-century farmhouse, it has plenty of English charm and is nestled in the heart of the rolling hills and beautiful countryside. Each of the 38 rooms and suites are individually designed, blending classic country charm with contemporary British design, splashes of colour and bold prints. You’ll be forgiven for wanting to hole up in suites with such inviting names as The Den, The Snug and The Hideaway or you can make yourself at home at Rose Cottage which comes with its own stone courtyard and Jacuzzi. Take a seat in The Garden Room or The Potting Shed and enjoy modern, seasonal cuisine cooked by chefs who are passionate about championing British cooking. The Garden Room is a bright and airy space that looks over the pretty garden, while The Potting Shed is a more informal centred around a huge oak bar. There’s plenty to keep you occupied at the hotel, including a spa with indoor pool, fitness studio and champagne nail parlour. However, you’re also ideally located to explore the surrounding countryside. Walk through the Farncombe estate to Broadway village or take a day trip to Stratford upon Avon, birthplace of Shakespeare. There is also a perfectly manicure 18-hole golf course next door.

Crete

Phāea Blue Palace

With unparalleled views of the Aegean and an atmosphere of effortless serenity, Phāea Blue Palace is the only boutique hotel in Crete situated directly on the beach. Each room and suite is curated with natural materials, handcrafted Greek artwork and a colour palette inspired by he surrounding sea, sand and olive groves. Some feature private pools, while others open onto terraces that frame uninterrupted views of the horizon. Step onto the hotel’s private 200-meter pebble beach, where wooden decks and plush loungers invite leisurely afternoons under the sun. Meanwhile the spa offers a collection of treatments inspired by ancient Greek wellness rituals as well as yoga and pilates sessions that take place under the open sky. Dining at Phāea Blue Palace is an immersive journey into the culinary heritage of Greece. At Anthós, the hotel’s signature open-air restaurant, chefs prepare exquisite dishes in a live kitchen using the finest local ingredients. For an intimate seafood experience, The Blue Door evokes the charm of a traditional Greek taverna, where the catch of the day is served just steps from the water’s edge. The Phāea Farmers Feast invites you to savour farm-to-table creations, where time-honoured cooking techniques celebrate the island’s fertile land and rich gastronomic traditions. As twilight descends, the scenic Votsalo Bar, perched above the sea, beckons with artisanal cocktails and a thoughtfully curated selection of Greek wines, offering a front-row seat to the spectacular Aegean sunset.

Provence

Hotel Crillon Le Brave

The eight buildings that make up this village hotel date back to the 17th and 18th centuries and many of them were once family homes. Those family names remain as a homage to the village’s history. There are 28 rooms to choose from, with beautiful views of Mount Ventoux or the Rhône Valley, and seven suites, some of which have their own terrace. There is also a small village house that is ideal for two couple of small families. Enjoy dinner in the magnificent stone vaulted dining room or out on the terraces at Restaurant Jérôme Blanchet, with views over the vineyards and olive groves. Or enjoy the rustic celebration of food and wine produced within 40km of Crillon le Brave at Bistrot 40K. Fresh local produce is delivered to the kitchen daily. For a leisurely breakfast or lunch, take a table at Grange Bar or Terrace Ventoux and enjoy the view of the Provençal landscape. Spoil yourself with a treatment or two at Spa des Ecuries, soak up the ray beside the swimming pool, enjoy a game of boules, or head out into the countryside on a bicycle.

Algarve

Vila Vita Parc

Vila Vita Parc sits in the centre of the Algarve, offering direct access to the beach. The stay is built in traditional Portuguese style with subtle nods to the region’s Moorish heritage. Inside, discover a collection of luxury rooms, suites and villas with private pools. Ranging from two-to-five bedrooms, each of their 5 villas benefits from the services of a personal butler who ensure your holiday goes seamlessly. Combining the breathtaking beauty of its unspoiled setting with the vast array of amenities it has to offer, Vila Vita Parc is among Portugal’s best luxury hotels. On property, guests have access to seven pools including one heated and three for kids. There are tennis courts, mini-golf, a kid’s club, as well as personalised well-being programmes at their incredible wellness centre which is the only Sisley spa in Portugal. When it comes to dining, Vila Vita Parc features a wide array of options with 11 restaurants, two of which are Michelin-starred. There are 6 bars and an incredible wine cellar. If you’re after a special evening, we suggest you try their Ocean’s Tasting Menu which features a superb gastronomic adventure, paired with Portuguese wines.
